E.g. the BlueZ for Android implementation (see android/ subdirectory) uses neither D-Bus nor bluetoothd. You'd still need some daemon to provide an SDP server ("sdptool add.." talks to bluetoothd which manages the local service records) and to handle pairing related functionality such as responding to PIN code/passkey requests and storing the resulting link keys (and reloading them once your daemon restarts).
